Topical map: what this site covers, and what it adds
Every question a Canadian household asks before and after buying IPTV, and the page here that answers it. We publish this openly for two reasons. It lets you judge in about ten seconds whether this site covers your question, and it forces us to be honest about where our coverage is genuinely useful rather than simply present. The last section is the part that matters most: the findings here that you will not get from the tenth copy of the same article.

What this site says that most others do not
Repeating common knowledge helps nobody. These six findings come from actually running the service in this market, and each one is checkable on the page it links to.
Sportsnet splits into four regional feeds plus Sportsnet One and 360; TSN runs five numbered channels. A lineup advertising "Sportsnet" as a single entry will quietly fail the night a rights window moves your team to a different feed. Carrying every feed matters far more than carrying more channels overall, which is why our sports page publishes the feed-to-team map instead of a total.
Where to check it: The feed carrying each of the seven Canadian NHL franchises, in a table →Every other market spreads its audience across a week. Canada concentrates it: Hockey Night in Canada puts a large share of the country on the same few feeds within the same five minutes. A service that looks flawless on a Tuesday afternoon can fall over at that moment, so we tell people to spend their free trial on a Saturday night rather than whenever it is convenient.
Where to check it: Why we suggest timing the trial to a game rather than a quiet evening →Live television cannot buffer ahead the way a film can, so it is punished by jitter rather than by raw speed. A 300 Mbps Wi-Fi connection sharing a band with a full house will stutter where a 25 Mbps wired connection holds steady. This is the single most effective fix we give out on support, and it costs about ten dollars in cable.
Where to check it: The buffering fixes ordered by how often they actually work →New subscribers frequently report a "wrong guide" when the guide is correct and the zone is not set. Canada makes this harder than most countries: Saskatchewan does not observe daylight saving, and Newfoundland sits half an hour off the Atlantic zone. We publish a zone-by-region table rather than assuming the player will guess.
Where to check it: The time-zone table, region by region, including the two exceptions →A year bought as twelve single months costs about three times the annual plan on one screen. Most of the industry advertises a single "from" price and leaves you to discover the rest at checkout. Every device count and every term is on one public table here, so the comparison takes seconds rather than a support conversation.
Where to check it: All five device tiers and four terms in one table, in Canadian dollars →Large counts include regional duplicates, time-shifted versions of the same station and single-series loop channels. What decides whether a lineup works for your household is narrower and checkable: is your regional sports feed there, is your local news the right city, and are your languages present. Our channel page is organised around those three questions instead of a total.
Where to check it: The lineup by category and by province, rather than one headline figure →Where this site is thin, and why
We do not publish a full channel list. Lineups change weekly, so a static list of 48,000 entries would be wrong within days and misleading within a month. The channel page covers the lineup by category and by province instead, and the free trial lets you search the real guide for the channels you care about.
We do not show a star rating or a review count in search results. A self-reported average proves nothing, and marking one up as structured data would put a number in front of you that nobody has audited. The reviews page publishes the reviews themselves with the moderation policy stated openly, and nothing else.
Four provinces and three territories do not have their own guide. They are fully served at the same price; they simply do not yet have enough distinct local detail, a regional feed, a home team, a provincial broadcaster, to fill a page honestly. When they do, we will write one. Until then the region coverage page says so plainly rather than generating a page per province for the sake of it.
Some device guides are shorter than others. A Fire TV Stick walkthrough needs screens and warnings; a Google TV one is three taps in the Play Store. We would rather a short page that ends when the job is done than a padded one that buries the three taps.
If this map says we cover your question, the page answering it is one click away. If it does not, tell us and we will write it.
